Colloquium: Inclusions, boundaries, and disorder in scalar active matter

O Granek, Y Kafri, M Kardar, S Ro, J Tailleur… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

Inertial self-propelled particles

L Caprini, U Marini Bettolo Marconi - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We study how inertia affects the behavior of self-propelled particles moving through a
viscous solvent by employing the underdamped version of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck …

Confined active Brownian particles: theoretical description of propulsion-induced accumulation

S Das, G Gompper, RG Winkler - New Journal of Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The stationary-state distribution function of confined active Brownian particles (ABPs) is
analyzed by computer simulations and analytical calculations. We consider a radial …

Active Brownian equation of state: metastability and phase coexistence

D Levis, J Codina, I Pagonabarraga - Soft Matter, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
As a result of the competition between self-propulsion and excluded volume interactions,
purely repulsive self-propelled spherical particles undergo a motility-induced phase …

Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.12406, 2023 - arxiv.org
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …

Mechanical pressure and momentum conservation in dry active matter

Y Fily, Y Kafri, AP Solon, J Tailleur… - Journal of Physics A …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We relate the breakdown of equations of states (EOS) for the mechanical pressure of
generic dry active systems to the lack of momentum conservation in such systems. We show …

Simple models of self-propelled colloids and liquid drops: from individual motion to collective behaviors

N Yoshinaga - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2017 - journals.jps.jp
In this review, we discuss recent developments in the theoretical models of self-propelled
particles. We first summarize simple models, including active Brownian particles (ABPs) …

Local stress and pressure in an inhomogeneous system of spherical active Brownian particles

S Das, G Gompper, RG Winkler - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
The stress of a fluid on a confining wall is given by the mechanical wall forces, independent
of the nature of the fluid being passive or active. At thermal equilibrium, an equation of state …

Motility-induced clustering and meso-scale turbulence in active polar fluids

VM Worlitzer, G Ariel, A Be'er, H Stark… - New Journal of …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Meso-scale turbulence was originally observed experimentally in various suspensions of
swimming bacteria, as well as in the collective motion of active colloids. The corresponding …

Non-equilibrium surface tension of the vapour-liquid interface of active Lennard-Jones particles

S Paliwal, V Prymidis, L Filion, M Dijkstra - The Journal of chemical …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
We study a three-dimensional system of self-propelled Brownian particles interacting via the
Lennard-Jones potential. Using Brownian dynamics simulations in an elongated simulation …
